No apology on their end, no acknowledgment of their lack of communication regarding the 30 minutes. If that is how they treat new patients, I can't imagine how they treat existing ones.

I was transferred to Jane who identified herself as the front desk person. I asked about the number of medical staff in the practice, and how referrals are handled. Jane wasn't friendly and treated me as if she didn't understand why I would be asking questions about the practice. I asked to schedule an appointment, and Jane told me someone would call me on Monday (it was Friday) to schedule an appointment. I asked if I could make an appointment right then, and she said, "No." I never received a call from CIM. Based on other reviews found on Yelp, and my experience with CIM, I suggest finding another more reliable medical practice.

Unsafe Medical Advice and Lack of Compassion for Senior Care…read more I am writing this to caution other caregivers managing complex medical needs for senior parents. My mother was a patient at this practice, and the experience was deeply concerning. The Medical Advice: When I sought guidance with Jennifer Miller on how to safely wean my mother off a psychiatric medication (Cymbalta) that was causing extreme issues, the provider's advice was to stop it abruptly ("cold-turkey"). I was told to simply "let her go through withdrawals" and take her to the ER for an IV if she began vomiting or became dehydrated. As an advocate for my senior mother, I knew this was unsafe and unacceptable advice. My request to use a slow, compounded tapering method was completely ignored. The Outcome: I had to seek outside specialist care to find a safe path forward. After finding a new care team that supported the slow, compounded taper I had researched, my mother is doing significantly better. The extreme "crash and burn" cycles she was experiencing have stopped, and she is much more alert and present than she has been in months. The Office Environment: The lack of professionalism from Jennifer Miller's nurse was also a major issue. While trying to resolve a critical prescription delay for a medication my mother needs to eat (due to an esophageal condition), I was met with sarcasm and told, "We have other patients." My private concerns were repeated within earshot of others in the office, which was completely unprofessional and dismissive. Final Thought: If you have a loved one with sensitive or complex needs, please be your own advocate. We have moved to a new primary care physician and a psychiatrist who actually listen. My mother is finally in safe hands, no thanks to this practice.

They checked , but I have 2 deductibles, and they assured me 100% was covered . I still called my insurance company and it was one of the two deductible 100% or 30-70 split and since this is medical equipment it would be 30/70 split. Plus I have a state grant on my left ear. And so my insurance should only go through on my right. Nope. So I went through with new hearing tests. My hearing went down as expected. The New Dr sent me to her colleague the David G, Man , which I couldn't stand, that's why I miss Aimee Parker so dearly. Such a professional, at what she did and her team. When I got to Hannah Freys Colleague, he was rude crude and arrogant. I yelled at me and stated ' you can plainly hears these words these are everyday words' so in my coat pocket I turned on my hearing aids and with my Apple Watch what he said I responded back because o couldn't hear anything- so I made it sound like I could hear. I was fuming mad, for someone to tell me that I can't hear when I have been deaf since a car accident. Then I get billed for $1400.00 for guaranteed coverage on devices. Which we're clearly not.: so I told them they were taking them back at their costs and I have the text. I get to Dr Frey after Jaime, set up the appointment and at the end of resetting up my old devices to my phone, she states to me - ' we are not charging you a $200 restocked fee but I am charging you a reprogramming fee for $65 for the old devices- I'm thinking to myself you wouldn't have to reprogram them if y'all's would have done your job in the first place and ℹ programming to begin with and doubled and tripled check to make sure your clients insurance ls don't have two deductibles. Plus get harassed by doctors? I feel like I am just a number with a pocket book and they just want funds? We are just money to them. They don't listen to people, or their patients, nor do they hear what is going on. So I am out 2 $40 co pay hearing tests, plus being scolded by one rude male audiologist doctor, plus out of $65 reprogramming fee with my old PHonak hearing aids. One from the state of North Carolina and one I paid for with was over $3k yepper. What a disaster at Wilmington Health Mayfair. So disappointed and disgusted. We are just numbers with pocket books.

This is my first time ever writing a review for a doctor's office so this is not coming from someone who just wants to complain. I have had a health issue for two years now that only just got diagnosed because it was previously minimized but I persisted in getting it checked out because nothing I was reading backed up the medical recommendations they provided. I kept getting told to wait longer to see if I still had the symptom for nearly two years -- I still do and it ended up being a life altering but not life endangering endocrine diagnosis delivered coldly by a specialist's medical assistant via EHR message with my name misspelled who then preceded to neglect to send all of the meds to my pharmacy for weeks. If I had not known what I was looking at based on my own clinical knowledge -- the one medication they would have sent after I prompted them would have been harmful if taken alone. I told my PCP about my diagnosis after she had dismissed these symptoms for nearly two years and her response was "thanks for letting me know". I understand our medical system and medical providers today are very taxed and have too many patients, but this was a cold, dismissive and not very thorough way to handle this and I will not remain a patient.

I have a very high bar for what a Dr. really is as my Grandfather delivered me and my sisters and 10 cousins and was my primary healthcare provider until I was 16. I am a complicated patient and have not made his life easy. Dr. Lucas listens and remembers and has the confidence in his skills that he doesn't have to throw every test in the book at you "just to be sure". He will however, listen to why you feel you might feel you need something. My diagnosis will eventually be terminal and he understands (I think) how I feel about it and doesn't hound me and I can't tell how much that means to me. I had an incident involving another physician within the practice in which a lesser man/physician would have sent me on my way, but he didn't and I thank God and Dr. Lucas for that. It would have been devastating for me. My eldest son and I don't speak often but I referred him to Dr. Lucas.
